[§444-31]  The contractors license board has
standing in court.  When the contractors license board receives notice, as
provided in section 444-28(a), the contractors license board may enter an
appearance, file an answer, appear at the court hearing, defend the action or
take whatever other action it may deem appropriate.  The contractors license
board or its legal representative shall be served with all pleadings in an
action which may result in a recovery from the contractors recovery fund.



Settlement of any claim against the contractors
recovery fund shall be made only with the unanimous agreement of the
contractors license board, director of commerce and consumer affairs and
attorney general that settlement is in the best interest of the contractors recovery
fund. [L 1973, c 170, pt of §1; am L 1982, c 204, §8; am L 1983, c 124, §17]
